Power Washing: Why It’s Good for Your Boston Home and Business

In the Northeast, we have some extreme weather changes and elements that can cause significant damage to your home over time. Dirt, grime, mold, and stains can all come from the winter weather we experience. Power washing is a simple, cost-effective way to maintain your home and protect it from damage. Especially in our area, power washing should be an essential part of your home maintenance and care. Here are some reasons why having your home or commercial property power washed can be a huge benefit for your property.

1.     Protects your Property from Damage

Winter can be a damaging time for your home. Moisture during cold or rainy months can damage and stain your exterior. The buildup over time can permanently damage your home if not taken care of often. In the Boston area, the weather in the winter months is particularly dangerous for your paint. Mildew and mold especially can grow in crevices. Power washing can remove this grime and prevent permanent damage.

2.   Saves Money and Time

Home maintenance can be a costly endeavor in both time and money. This is especially true if you do not take advantage of the many benefits of power washing your home or business. Preventative maintenance like power washing can go a long way in saving you money in the long run. Removing paint-damaging grime and buildup can extend the life of your home’s paint, protecting it and making it beautiful and well-kept.

3.   Protects Your Health

That same grime and mold that builds upon a home can be dangerous for you and your family’s health. Allergies can often be triggered by mold spores, dust, and pollen buildup, which are also factors commonly associated with asthma attacks. Power washing a home can eliminate those elements and keep you healthy. Having your home or business power washed is a great and proactive way to protect yourself, your family, and your colleagues from these troublesome factors.

4.   Increases Property Value

If you don’t take care of your property, whether your home or your business, its market value will decrease. Chipping paint, stains, and other general damage can contribute to a much lower resale value.

Power-washing can get rid of and prevent those stains and damage to your paint. Having your home or building power washed, especially before having it painted, will help maintain and even increase its value. Restoring a paint job through power washing and removing any noticeable damage will give you an easy advantage when trying to sell your house.

5.   Restores Your Home’s Look

Even if you are not looking to sell your home, restoring your home to its original look can be a great benefit for you and your enjoyment and use of your property. Maintaining your home by having it power washed every year not only adds value to the property you own, but it also contributes to your neighborhood and your community. Power washing can remove years of grime, dirt, stains, and make your home look almost new.

At Big Dog Painting, we offer a comprehensive maintenance program to keep your home or business looking as good as new! We have found a little "TLC" each year really goes a long way in the overall longevity of your current paint job.

Our maintenance program starts with a thorough inspection of the paint job to ensure everything is performing to both our standards and yours. Following our inspection, we give the property a thorough pressure wash. This will prohibit the growth of mold and mildew and makes sure your property is looking its best.

What it means for you...

This program is engineered to save you money in the long run by allowing your current paint job to perform at its best and without the hindrance of mold, mildew, or dirt.
